The advantages of drying your clothes the natural way

By -



Many of you persist in machine drying your clothes, despite the obvious ecological benefits of hang drying them. But perhaps you haven't considered this: have you thought of all the new species of spider you will encounter, most of which you never knew lived in your area, let alone in T-shirts and socks in your area?

    I'm curious, do you get stinkbugs down there?

"Pre-Galilean" Foolishness

 I am currently reading The Master and His Emissary , which appears to be an excellent book. ("Appears" because I don't know the neuroscience literature well enough to say for sure, yet.) But then on page 186 I find: "Asking cognition, however, to give a perspective on the relationship between cognition and affect is like asking astronomer in the pre-Galilean geocentric world, whether, in his opinion, the sun moves round the earth of the earth around the sun.
